Leak Repairs That Close the Real Opening
You hear what was found before any repair is scheduled.
Water travels before it shows
Water that enters a chimney rarely drips straight down to where you see it. It runs along flue tiles, soaks through brick, follows framing and metal, and appears at the firebox, a ceiling corner or a wall some distance away.
That is why our pros trace the path before choosing a repair. Starting from where the water shows up inside, they work out to the top of the chimney and the roof line, checking each part that could let it in.
Water piling up behind a wide chimney
Everything the roof above collects runs into the uphill face of the chimney, and in a downpour it can stand there. For chimneys wider than 30 inches, section R903.2.2 of the Florida residential code requires a cricket on the ridge side to divert that flow around the masonry.
Leaks at the back of a wide chimney often trace to back flashing that is too short or to a missing cricket. Our pros measure the chimney, and a cricket is quoted as its own job where one is needed.
Paint and sealers that trap water
Paint, glossy sealers and other film-forming coatings can hold water inside brick instead of letting it dry out. Technical Note 6A discourages film-forming coatings on exterior brick for that reason.
If your chimney has already been painted or sealed and still leaks, our specialists look at what is peeling or blistering and where water is trapped, and they explain the options before any new product goes on. Stripping a failed coating is sometimes part of the fix, and it is priced before it starts.
What to do while you wait for the visit
Set a towel or a shallow pan where the water lands, shift rugs and furniture clear of the wet area and leave the fireplace unused until the leak has been checked. If water is near a light fixture or an outlet, keep people away from it and switch that circuit off at the breaker if you can do so safely.
Stay off the roof, especially while it is wet. Our team needs only your notes and access to the house, and we will do the climbing.
